TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH...
A ____I went to Beijing four years ago, but couldn’t visit the Great Wall. I always wanted to see
it but our tour guide didn’t take us there because it was winter. Luckily, I visited the Great Wall of
China as part of my Asia tour last June.
B ____ I booked a private tour and had a wonderful
experience because the tour guide was nice and friendly.
He also spoke English well. He picked me up from the
hotel at 6 a.m. as I wanted to avoid the tourist traffc. It
took us two hours to get to Mutianyu. I was surprised
to feel the fresh air after the pollution and the crowds of
Beijing.

C ___There were different ways to get to the Wall. I
preferred the cable car and bought a ticket for it. When I
got to the top, I was amazed to see the great view of the
cable car
